There are about 21062 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Italy. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Comparing efficacy and safety of isolation of the pulmonary veins (PV) using a Cryoballoon catheter versus a radiofrequency ablation with a ThermoCool catheter in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, efficacy and dose response of BMS-945429 in subjects with active Psoriatic Arthritis and an inadequate response to Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and non-biologic Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs).
The purpose of this study is demonstrate that efficacy and safety of Synthon's glatiramer acetate (GTR) is equivalent to Copaxone® (Teva) in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the haemostatic effect of NNC 0129-0000-1003 during surgical procedures in subjects with haemophilia A.
This trial is conducted in Europe and South America. The aim of this trial is to compare the glycaemic control of insulin detemir plus insulin aspart with that of insulin NPH plus human soluble insulin in subjects with type 1 diabetes on a basal/bolus regimen.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, efficacy, safety and PK study comparing octocog alfa and CSL627. The study consists of three parts, a PK period (Part 1), a continuation of dosing safety and efficacy period (Part 2) and a safety, efficacy, and repeat PK section (Part 3) including a surgical sub-study for subjects enrolled in Parts 2 and 3.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NOX A12 in combination with a background therapy of bendamustine and rituximab (BR) chemotherapy in previously treated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
This multicenter, international, Phase Ib/II trial consists of three stages: a Phase Ib, open-label stage in which the recommended Phase II dose was determined for ipataseritib administrated in combination with abiraterone and of apitolisib administrated in combination with abiraterone (this phase is no longer active), a Phase II, 3-arm, double-blind, randomized comparison of ipatasertib with abiraterone and prednisone/prednisolone versus placebo with abiraterone and prednisone/prednisolone and a safety single-arm, open-label cohort of ipatasertib 400 mg daily alone or in combination with prednisone/prednisolone or prednisone/prednisolone plus abiraterone.
The idea is to evaluate if the so called "Gluten Sensitivity" is a real clinical entity. Gluten sensitive (GS) persons are defined as those patients, being neither celiac or allergic to weat, who develop symptoms following gluten consumption. This will be achieved by evaluating a global symptom score in GS patients receiving gluten compared to those receiving placebo (primary end point). Symptoms to be evaluated: gastrointestinal (Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale, GSRS); not-gastrointestinal (specifically built evaluation scale); VQV scale, built to evaluate quality of life. Gluten or placebo will be administered daily (10 g) for 15 days; for the 15 days before and 15 after all patients will stay on Gluten Free Diet (GFD). Besides clinical evaluation (each week for 6 weeks), intestinal permeability testing and blood sampling will be requested for the identification of possible markers (serological, gut barrier function, immunological and expression of tight junctions constitutive proteins) that may be of help to differentiate the condition of gluten sensitivity (GS) from that of Celiac Disease (CD)(secondary end point). Inclusion and exclusion criteria for patients enrolling are strictly dependant on the given "Gluten sensitivity" definition. We expect to experience a worsening of gastrointestinal and extra-gastrointestinal symptoms, from hours to days, with an increase in the overall symptom score, above the cut off, in at least 45% of GS subjects enrolled and that have received gluten compared to GS who received placebo.
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) (OMIM 187300 and 600376), also known as Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome, is an autosomal dominant disease and has a prevalence between 1:5000 and 1:8000 in different populations. Clinically, the occurrence of mucocutaneous and gastrointestinal telangiectasias and of systemic arteriovenous malformations is commonly observed. Recurrent and severe epistaxis, due to the presence of telangiectasias in nasal mucosa, is the most common presentation of HHT, frequently leading to severe anemia requiring intravenous iron and blood transfusions. Although not life threatening, severe epistaxis has a great impact on quality of life in HHT patients and it represents the most important impediment in daily activities, that poses therapeutic challenge. Recently, angiogenesis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of HHT. Circulating concentrations of both TGF-beta and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are significantly elevated and therefore, anti-angiogenic substances may be effective in the treatment of vascular malformations in this disease. Thalidomide functions as a potent immunosuppressive and antiangiogenic agent. The aim of this study is to assess the clinical effects of thalidomide therapy on the severity of epistaxis in subjects with HHT who are refractory to standard therapies.
